Re new memberships didn't the club separate those from members who had purchased prior at a different Wembley game? League cup final I think?

Those block L ones look like some which were held back for whatever reason the way they're grouped together so it's good the club managed to get them back on sale.

I think the current one is our best within one season.

Don't see why we wouldn't get 3k more as 36k was what teams got last season.

Some season ticket holders will have waited I imagine to sit with members. Plus all the people with multiple browsers open.

Charles and Bragg are different types of midfielders in my view and shouldn't be competing with each other for a place. Bragg plays the same role as Downes whereas Charles likes to drive forward more similar to Jander. I don't think anyone would argue that Charles isn't the more accomplished player at this point, but Bragg has been excellent this season for his first season at this level and his age, and wouldn't rule out him becoming good enough for the top flight in time. He's already proven to be better than L1 level imo.

So a player who is performing well for a top championship club has a ceiling of L1? Makes sense.

Blimey, even given the long distance and late notice that's incredibly poor. MK Dons probably the last to bring such a small following.

I reckon there'll be quite a few no shows if there's nothing really to play for.

Just under 2.5k available in home end so probably be about 26-27k there (or sold I should say). As I highly doubt Blackburn will bring more than 500 or so. Should have offered some deals on tickets for this. No way should it be a category A fixture and with people having to pick and choose I'm not surprised that this one is being swerved. I don't see the big deal anyway personally. The midweek games with smaller crowds have largely had better atmospheres this season.

It will definitely make members. Preston will always offer up to that many, it's just we'd never come close to selling it in normal circumstances.

Be nice if we could have something at least semi original though and not a rehash of the Selles song. Then again this is Saints we're talking about so probably asking a bit much there.

Reckon you'll be fine without extra time. Hour and forty minutes should be plenty? With extra time you're fucked though.

Yeah I get that, I'll always believe we have a chance for these sorts of games anyway.

That was our first ever visit to the new Wembley and pretty sure tickets/everything wasn't as expensive as it is now. Whereas we visited just two seasons ago and a lot of people are backing us to be there again next month. As I said I already know a few people who aren't planning on going and are sticking to Preston instead. I'll be doing both personally. The train situation won't help either.

Or people who've already committed to Preston and can't really afford to do both?

Allocation is 36k though.

Yeah reckon a fair few will just assume no chance of winning and make it easier for them not to bother.

Yeah it's a lot of tickets and there's a huge amount of games this month. I know a few who aren't going and said they're saving money for Preston and play offs.

This was last season: Category Adult* Under 18 & Over 65* Level 2 £150/£120 £130/£100 Category 1 £90 £80 Category 2 £70 £60 Category 3 £45 £35 Category 4 £30 £20

About that yeah, we probably won't sell all ours either.

Yep both got relegated the same year as winning a cup. Skates should have been in Europe in 10/11 too but couldn't afford it/ UEFA wouldn't let them 😂 Don't know about anyone else but a European campaign whilst being in the championship sounds incredible. Lazio and Lincoln away in the same week? Yes please.

Either way it shouldn't take four fucking days to decide two games. Complete joke.

This should be it in my view. It shouldn't be beyond even our fans to think up 5 lines. Need 4 for a verse and one to replace 'get her out of my heart'. Would work without a verse too in fairness just be better with.

Fulham was good but away support been a bit rubbish at most games tbh. Small allocation though and normally that bodes well.
